Danielle's Reading Adventures

Okay don't let the goofy name turn you off. This was my second book by Sarah Morgan and I really loved it. It was just fresh but it had the elements I love in Harlequin Presents. I really loved Angelina as a heroine (she made the book for me). She was a fiercely intelligent and fearless woman. She did what she thought was right regardless of the consequences. I love how Angelina had no qualms about saying exactly what she thought to a man like Nikos, who is used to having people jump at his command. She was her own woman, although love changed her and caused her to be willing to give to the one she loved. I also liked how although she blackmails the hero into marriage, he turns the tables on her, kidnaps her and makes it a real marriage. He is head over heels for her and bowled over by his attraction to a woman who is admittedly plain, and doesn't seem to like him very much. It has some steamy sexual moments that are very well-written and add to the charcterization of the characters. This is just a fun, great book and I recommend it to readers who have felt a little tired of the more recent Harlequin Presents books and want some new blood to shake things up, but also have the classic feel of the romance series there in spades. After reading this book, I made a point of buying/reading Morgan's books. So far I have only been disappointed with one of her books that I've read since this one.Some readers felt like this was a rehash of the Lynne Graham classic Bond of Hatred. It never even occurred to me until I read it in a review of this book off Amazon after reading it. Yes it has a similar plot device, but Morgan went in her own direction and wrote a modern, snappy romance that will cause you some hours of enjoyment and perhaps send you back for a few rereads.
